Rock Island, Illinois.
Sale Begins Monday
To the public: In order that the af
fairs of the estate of 1). Roy Bowlby
may be closed up, as administrator of

the court, I am authorized to sell and

ments, sheet music, store fixture.-.. fc.
Having but a short time to do t':i?!.
I have determined to offer the eaiire
stock at appraised prices in a big
sale, confident that there are enough
people in this section needing instru
ments who will be quick to take' ad
vantage of the nuust:.;l rceue; Ion.; ia
prices, and relieve me of the tedious
and expensive alternative of selling
oach instrument as I can find buy
ers. The entire stock has been apprais
ed by competent men. Every instru
ment is marked to sell at the apprais
ed value, which in most cases Is less
than the factory co;t. and in many
cases the appraised value Is but a
fraction of the value of the instru
ment. Ia offering this stock at these ex
tremely low appraised prices there
can to no deviation whatever from
market prices.
Therefore, each instrument will
bear a large tag which will plainly in
dicate the former selling price and
the present sale price, and it is need
less to state that the great reduction
v.ili bo apparent to all.
